Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore (groin) is off the injury report and set to play in Week 7 against the New Orleans Saints. Moore was hospitalized following the team's Week 6 win over Washington due to a groin injury, but he practiced in full this week and is ready to go. It's been a slow start to the 2025 season for Moore, who has totaled 240 yards and one touchdown on 27 total attempts through five games. With Rome Odunze emerging as the team's WR1, Moore has struggled to find consistency. However, he gets a chance to rebound against a Saints defense that has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. After New Orleans was torched by Drake Maye and the Patriots in Week 6, there's real upside for the Bears' passing attack this week. Moore profiles as a solid WR3 with bounce-back potential in Week 7.

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth caught four of his five targets for 111 yards and two touchdowns during Thursday's Week 7 loss against the Cincinnati Bengals. His touchdowns came on 19-yard and 68-yard receptions, the latter of which gave Pittsburgh a late lead (that they would ultimately relinquish). Freiermuth had not yet posted a fantasy performance with more than 6.1 fantasy points this season (PPR), so Thursday's breakout was admittedly unexpected. It should give fantasy managers optimism moving forward, but there's no denying that the 26-year-old continues to face competition at the tight end position. Fellow tight ends Jonnu Smith and Darnell Washington each scored touchdowns on Thursday night, too, offering Aaron Rodgers plenty of options when he's looking to target big, physical receivers in the passing game. As a result, managers should view Freiermuth as a low-end TE2 for Week 8.
